Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Welcome to Mechanical Engineering
A program of Engineering & Mathematics division

Launched in fall 2014, our Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree curriculum is designed, in line with its program educational objectives, to provide students not only solid fundamentals of mathematics and science, strong design and analysis skills of mechanical engineering, but also develop graduates who are conscientious citizens and aware of their ethical responsibilities in a global society.

The BSME curriculum emphasizes hands‐on experience, collaborative problem solving, and societal implications in the design, production, and implementation of mechanical and thermal fluid systems. Our research includes biomedical engineering, robotic surgery, commercialization of medical devices, advanced materials characterization, marine systems, power/energy, and engineering policy. We actively engage with local industries and these industry professionals are valued members of the affiliate faculty.

Accreditation and Licensure: The University of Washington Bothell Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program is fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the global accrediting agency for programs in applied and natural science, computing, engineering and engineering technology. ABET accreditation provides assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards of the profession for which that program prepares graduates. Graduates from an ABET-accredited program have a solid educational foundation and are capable of leading the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.
